To Market, To Market...

This should be a hoot - taking Memere Old (aka my mother) to the Farmers Market. At least there won't be any grocery cart NASCAR incidents. (hmmmm maybe I better wait to report on that...who knows what innocent 80 year old could be edged out of the way as MO elbows her way to the perfect cucumber?

Check back for more on this soon to be unfolding (and potentially zany and or dramatic) story. Just want to upload one card for now.

Buwahhahahah! College Student Quotes!

New Alum: When I get married I want to have 9 babies. Me: You want 9 children? Alum: Yes. All born in the same year. Me: So you are saying you want to father a litter. Alum: Litter? No. I want a baseball team. Me: Would you consider 9 babies over - say - the course of 3-4 years? Alum: (furrowed brow/hesitation) I suppose I could deal with that. Me: You do realize you don't even have a girlfriend yet. Alum: I've had girlfriends. The 9 babies clause seems to be a deal breaker for some reason. Me: How do you feel about tennis?

Biology Major: "I had my first day in the cadaver lab today." Me: "Oh? And what was it like?" Student: "The morgue must have had her on her stomach because her breasts were kinda squished on to her sides." Me: "Maybe you should retake physics." Student: "Why?" Me: "One word...gravity." Student.....(wait for it....wait for it...imagine a light bulb above his head....the light bulb turns on..."Oh. OH! Really?" Me: "How was theology class?"

"When they put the name above your first classroom door - you know you really have a 'big girl' job"

"We know when you close the blinds on your office door window that 'Sh!t just got real' and we shouldn't bother you."

Me: "You have on one green sock and one pink sock." Student: "Life is too short to sort socks."

"I'm too young to be this broke!"

"I love college! Except for the reading. I really don't like to read. I hate it when we have quizes. Oh and I really don't like doing research. And I really don't like to write papers. Other than that I love college!"
